Factors Affecting DevOps Engineer Staffing Levels
DevOps is a natural extension of agile development into the deployment and operational phases of the system life cycle. It has been a way of life among modern, cloud-native software developers, and it is starting to become popular within enterprise IT organizations as well, especially those that invest in custom software development. Yet, even among such enterprises, DevOps engineers are a small percentage of the total IT staff. This Research Byte outlines the reasons for this.

Beyond Metaverse—Why You Need an Omniverse Strategy
The digital age has triggered a rapid convergence of the human experience across physical, virtual, and augmented realities. These realities now exist in what is referred to as the metaverse. What is not commonly appreciated, however, is that there are multiple metaverses or “verses” that represent communities where people meet friends, work, play games, shop, and watch movies. It is a huge mistake for business leaders to think about these verses as one thing. Rather they are collectively the “omniverse,” the assemblage of what will become many verses owned by companies, governments, institutions, and other organized bodies. This report defines the aspects of a “verse” and provides a list of essential digital prerequisites necessary for businesses to prepare for their organizations to service their clients and conduct business in the omniverse.

Maximizing the Value of Multi-Supplier Service Delivery
When an enterprise engages multiple vendors for IT service delivery, it is easy for those suppliers to lack coordination and collaboration among themselves and with the client. This results in an increased number of critical incidents, lack of process visibility, and siloed reporting. The multisourcing service integration model (MSI) is helping enterprises reduce incident resolution time, integrate multiple IT systems, and improve business and supplier accountability. Service providers are leveraging artificial intelligence/machine learning solutions and proprietary IT service management tools to reduce ticket volumes, synchronize service catalogs, and automate business processes. These trends, and others, are covered in our Multisourcing Service Integration 2021–2022 RadarView™.
